These are my two puppies I got from Berg bros. Setters in Mn. The pictures were taken during training the last couple of days. They're a handful, but have been alot of fun.

Hey Ryan.....still keeping the breeding a secret?

big steve46 · Post by **big steve46** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 11:09 am

Very nice pictures guys! I'd probably give at least $100 for any one of them!

OK, I guess I'll join in since this thread is up the top again. We have four Irish Red & White Setters. They are at varying stages of being trained for hunting and field trials. Our oldest is 4 year old Emerald that we just aquired the end of May. She's my #1 field trial prospect at this point. Next is our girl Rylee who is almost 2. She has her Junior Hunter and is training for Senior/Master. My husband also hunts over her. Our male Toir is a year and half old, we imported him from Argentina. He's in field training but will probably also be our first to enter the show ring next Jan after our setters have their full AKC acceptance on Jan 1st. And we also have a new puppy, she's 5 months old, her name is Abigail. Right now she's doing beginning field work, just learning to get out there and she's had a few birds flown over her. We've only had her for a couple of weeks.

A wonderful breed to remind people about. Congrats.

She loves America.

Hint: Laying next to her American Flag blanket.

I love this thread.

Couple update picts from a training session this past weekend. Deuce is 13 months old. We set up a tracking test and she did very well. The pointing picture is her on point of a quail at the end of the track. The second is of her swimming and retrieving dummies. I am really happy with the "versatility" of my setter. Maybe she will try to keep up with Yawallac's swimming EPs

These are my friends' dogs. I love the setters. That Spinone in the back is one sweet dog though. This was taken in Maine. These setters are the only ones I've met but they are great dogs.

big steve46 · Post by **big steve46** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 3:13 pm

All nice looking dogs. Thanks for sharing.

clarksetters · Post by **clarksetters** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 10:19 pm

I have had LLewellins for four years now and have had nothing but great days in the field. I have three males and three femals. I learned all that I know about LLewellins from Derry Argue.

This thread gets better everyday. I am so glad that it refuses to die. Let's keep it up.

big steve46 · Post by **big steve46** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:17 pm

My male Llewellin turned 11 in May. He's starting to show his age. Had a blood workup recently, and will get results tomorrow. I'm afraid this may be his last season to hunt.

bucktales · Post by **bucktales** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 3:03 pm

We recently returned from visiting some of our friends very East of the US.
We had 18 of them out for a run this day, including litter mates of ours.
Field of Setters.

Im new to the forum , i have some questions.I've never had a dog to hunt, im an owner of a 6 mo irish setter wondering if he could be trained to be a decent upland hunter.Can someone help

big steve46 · Post by **big steve46** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 8:35 pm

I would think any bird dog is trainable to a great extent. It depends on the trainer and the dog. The breeding of the dog makes some difference. If you are training yourself, get some training tapes and help. You can get a lot of help on these forums, but others can give you better training advice than I can. Now is a good time to start.

Post by **Sharon** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:30 pm

My friend was 14 when he bought this dog, Uplander's Ellie (2 now).
He learned to train her by reading and by help from his friends.
Essential factor was that she was well bred from hunting lines... Shady Hills Billy was her sire.

GSP_girl · Post by **GSP_girl** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 11:10 pm

Oh my goodness all these Gordon Setters are stunning!

Although my favorite setter would have to be the Irish Setter, oh i just love that beautiful red coat.

ESetterLove · Post by **ESetterLove** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 11:27 pm

As a Setter lover just thought I should add to the discussion. Here is my recent addition to the family. We picked her up last week and she is still just a little bit. Just about 7 weeks old today. I must say I am very impressed with her bold and intelligent ways already. House trained and responds to commands in less than a week. She has not met our other setter yet because he is at training camp. She still needs a name though. Any suggestions? The family does not like the names I picked out.
At least Setters aren't as fattening as potato chips.

No outdoor pics yet due to weather.

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 10:25 pm

This is Lizzy...she is a Royacelle bred Llewellin, just turned two years old. Click the thumbnail for a larger view.

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 10:29 pm

This is Jack. He is a Llewellin from Blizzard and Royacelle lines. He will be two years old in November.

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 10:33 pm

This is Josh (my avatar) He is from the Blizzard/Bomber Llewellin lines. He just turned six years old.

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 10:40 pm

This is the AlabamaTwister. He is a line bred Royacelle Llewellin and is four years old.

big steve46 · Post by **big steve46** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 8:59 pm

Are you gonna trial the AT in the future? Do you mainly do NSTRA down there?

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 9:49 pm

Steve, Yes I plan to run him this year in NASTRA. I didn't get to run much last season due to work but I should have more time this season.

Thanks Midwest....put up some pictures of your dogs.

Wilber · Post by **Wilber** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 6:31 pm

Here is "Scout." Just picked her up from Aspen Patch Setters. Three days and she knows her name, "come," and seems to be house broken (although that may be more due to our 'eternal vigilance').

Wait three months and will have forgotten her name, won't have a clue what come means and will wet on the carpet when you aren't looking.

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:29 pm

Nice looking pup Wilber. Aspen Patch sounds like a breeder of grouse dogs?

RoundRiver Setters · Post by **RoundRiver Setters** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:32 pm

Nice looking pup Wilber! High Cotton, Aspen Patch is a breeder of Ryman/ Old Hemlock dogs .Tim Parker is the owner and he lives in NorthEastern Iowa. Ezzy that was funny! ............................Scott

mudhunter · Post by **mudhunter** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 9:00 am

Great looking puppy, looks just like my Pete when he was that age. He holds his tail real nice for a ryman too! good luck im sure he'll be a blast.

romeo212000 · Post by **romeo212000** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 6:21 pm

Josh is a good looking setter, I am debating getting a setter or another shorthair. I can't decide so maybe I will just have to give in and get both.

KY Grouse Hunter · Post by **KY Grouse Hunter** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:29 am

Here are my two CH Mr. Motion and CH Tekoa Mt. Sunrise dogs. These dogs are 13 months old and just about stone broke. I love this thread!

highcotton · Post by **highcotton** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 2:42 pm

KY, nice looking setters.

I had a male pointer out of Davis Final Touch with a rear leg marking like that. It really defined his running lick when he was in open country...reminded me a an old locomotive going full steam...

Those are beautiful dogs. Made my day. Thanks.
